About Galindo

Galindo is a display typeface with thick, slightly irregular strokes and boxy openings. In the specimen the outer shapes are soft: stems widen toward one end, verticals are not quite parallel, and round letters bulge. The counters inside a, d, o and e, by contrast, are nearly rectangular, which is the feature the official description singles out as geometric. That combination of loose outside and squared inside recalls title lettering from animated cartoons, the source the description names. Capitals are wide and the lowercase is large, so words form dense, dark bands. Galindo has one Regular style and is not a variable font. It holds 370 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets. The family is credited to Astigmatic; the copyright notice names Brian J. Bonislawsky, who trades under that name. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
